Multi-layered reflection on place, identity, and mythology.

Juxtaposition of reality and myth: In Hinduism, the title "Shakti" refers to the primordial feminine force or cosmic energy. The floating blue figures represent this divine presence. Their placement above a real, historically significant city like Srinagar suggests spiritual guardianship or a mystical realm that transcends the real, physical world.
